Together with Cadillac, Oldsmobile led the industry with the introduction of a pillarless ""hardtop"" coupe in 1949. Olds' version was called the ""Holiday""; by the time this 1956 model was built, the Holiday coupe was the most popular 88 style. Recently released from a collection of an art and chandelier dealer with many fine automobiles, this 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday Coupe has benefited from a professional frame-off restoration at some point in its past and comes with several impressive car show trophies.
Finished in an attractive two-tone color scheme of Citation Bronze and Alcan White, the car remains in excellent condition, however there are some flaws in the paint due to the age of the restoration. The factory wheel covers are accented with carefully painted Citation Bronze, which look amazing paired with the 225/75R15 wide whitewall radial tires.
